CRAB AND SHRIMP BOIL WITH NEW POTATOES
Steps:
- Bring the water to a boil in a very large stockpot. Add the Old Bay, salt, garlic, chile flakes and parsley and boil for 10 minutes to infuse. Add the potatoes and cook another 10 minutes. Add the crabs; cook 10 minutes more, or until the crabs are cooked through. Carefully remove the crabs with tongs; then add the shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until just opaque. Drain immediately. Serve the crab, shrimp and potatoes with melted butter, toasted bread and lemon wedges.
CRAB-BOIL POTATOES
I first tried these delicious little potatoes while in New Orleans but did not think to get a recipe. I have adapted this recipe to match the taste as best I can. They are somewhat adaptable, you can adjust the spice level to your own preference - these are what I would consider a medium level (I ususally use a bit more spice b/c I like things spicy!)

Steps:
- Place the potatoes (I like mine cut up but you could keep them whole) in a pot and add just enough water to cover the potatoes. Add the crab boil.
- Bring the water to a rolling boil then add Tony Chacheres (or salt) and the hot sauce.
- Allow the potatoes to boil until they are fork-tender (5-10 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes and whether you cut them or left them whole).
- Drain the potatoes and allow them to sit for 5 minutes or so.
- You can serve these hot, or allow them to cool (the flavor gets stronger as they cool) and serve them at room temperature.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like red potatoes or Yukon Golds hold their shape better during boiling than starchy potatoes like Russets.
- Scrub the potatoes thoroughly before boiling: This will remove any dirt or debris.
- Boil the potatoes in salted water: This will help to season the potatoes and prevent them from becoming bland.
- Do not overcook the potatoes: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Drain the potatoes immediately after boiling: This will prevent them from absorbing too much water.
- Serve the potatoes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or seasoning: Some popular options include melted butter, sour cream, ranch dressing, or Old Bay seasoning.
Conclusion:
Crab boil potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They can be boiled in advance and reheated when you are ready to serve, making them a great option for busy weeknights.
